This is the season when Yokohama shines the most. Illumination event “Yorunoyo 2023” will be held from November 27th (Monday)! [Recommended course]

“Y Cube” An experiential digital art that responds to human movements

"Y-Cube", a digital art piece centered around a giant cube, will appear in Shinko Central Plaza. You can enjoy one of the largest interactive projection mapping projects in Japan centered around a cube.

Interactive projection mapping is a type of projection mapping in which the movement of light changes in response to people's movements, making it a mysterious piece of art that makes you feel like you are a part of the art.

The color and movement of the light changes in response to the movement of the person.

The area around Shinko Central Square was once a place that connected land and sea, and where trains and ships met. The mixture of things and people is expressed through virtual and irregular movements of light. In addition, since it is a place where the energies of fire and water meet, such as a train using firepower and a ship moving on the sea, the production incorporates elements that make you feel energy.

At Shinko Central Plaza, there is an information desk where you can also get pamphlets for the entire event.

The neon-lit Yorunoyo letters are the landmark.

"Highlights of Yokohama" A light and sound show with a vibrant night view of Yokohama

After enjoying the Y-cube, let's move towards Osanbashi. At Zou-no-hana Park along the way, a ``Y container'' has been installed. You can also enjoy the art of sound and light here.

You can also go inside the container and take photos.

``Highlights of Yokohama'' is a spectacular show in which 40 facilities in Yokohama, the largest ever, illuminate in time with music.

A 5-minute show will be held every 30 minutes from 17:30 to 21:00. The recommended viewing spot is Osanbashi Bridge, where you can see the entire city. You can experience the entire city moving with lights and music.

The sight of the city of Yokohama lighting up to the music is spectacular!

The ``Yokohama City Song'', which is familiar to Yokohama citizens, and the original songs arranged for Yorunoyo alternate with each other, and the color of the lights in each facility changes according to the music. Lasers are emitted from tall facilities such as the Yokohama Grand Intercontinental Hotel and Yokohama Marine Tower, creating a magical sight as they intersect in the night sky of Yokohama.

Yokohama is lined with buildings representing a variety of cultures, from historical structures to new facilities. A variety of people work and live there. The colors of the lights and the timing of the lights are not intentionally matched, and the lights appear to separate and merge, symbolizing the city of Yokohama, where diverse cultures and people mix.

Even the familiar scenery of Yokohama can be viewed from a new perspective with a fresh feeling thanks to the light production.

"Y Terminal" Spectacular projection mapping above the sea

On the wooden deck of Osanbashi, you can enjoy the projection mapping "Y Terminal" above the sea, which spreads undulating light.

There are various changes such as large whales swimming and colorful waves rolling, making it a production that you will want to see over and over again.

Osanbashi's wooden deck is an interesting space where no two parts are the same. By using light in the space, the projection mapping incorporates the desire for people to make discoveries that they have never seen before.

The night view of Yokohama seen through projection mapping is also very beautiful.

summary

“Yorunoyo 2023” colors the winter nights of Yokohama. It is rare in Japan for the city to be decorated with projection mapping, and you can enjoy a view that can only be experienced in Yokohama.
